BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center Presents
Jayme Stone's Lomax Project

BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, the longest operating performance venue in lower Manhattan, proudly presents Jayme Stone's Lomax Project, part of the Tribeca Spotlight "Next Voice You Hear" Series, on Friday, March 11 at 8PM. Tickets are $15.

Two-time Juno-winning banjoist, composer and instigator Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world, bridging folk, jazz and chamber music. His award-winning albums both defy and honor the banjo's long role in the world's music, turning historical connections into compelling music. Stone is the consummate collaborator, unearthing musical artifacts and magnetizing extraordinary artists to help rekindle these understudied sounds.
Additionally, he is a passionate educator, producer, and collaborator. At this concert, Jayme Stone will be performing with Moira Smiley, Sumaia Jackson and Joe Phillips.

About the The Lomax Project: Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this specific collaboration brings together some of North America's most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle and re-imagine traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea chanties, African-American acappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: sea captains, cowhands, fishermen, prisoners and homemakers. Collaborators have included Moira Smiley, scheduled to perform with Jayme Stone.
